Meat mincer knife

Il knife for meat grinder, also said lama for mincer, is the accessory that, together with the plate, is indispensable for the operation of the meat grinder.

The knife is chosen according to the capacity and size of the appliance: 12, 22 and 32 are the most common measures. They are also marked on the accessory and it is therefore quite simple to buy it.

The knife is universal and self-sharpening, while the plates may have holes on the outer diameter in different positions depending on the brand and model.

The knife and the plate are always in stainless steel. While the headwork, to reduce costs, can also be made of cast iron. The disadvantage is that if you mount the knife incorrectly or wash it in the dishwasher, you peel off the cover.

How is the knife mounted on the industrial meat grinder?

It must be set up in the headwork concave side facing the operator and the convex one towards the machine. It is also necessary to avoid that the tips are in contact with any protrusions, those where the plates for the meat grinder are embedded.

Finally, everything is usually fixed with the last screw piece. You can see all this in a video.

Why should I change the perforated plate when I change the self-sharpening knife?

Why both wear out gradually, together, hand in hand. If either is worn on one side in an anomalous way, it pushes the other to twist.

It is neither for the benefit of outgoing product - be it meat or turnip, which is "seasoned" with worn metal - nor for the benefit of mince meat is works harder.

Il price of knife and plate is negligible compared to the cost of a deterioration of the equipment. If the engine is strained, over time it will fail sooner.
